I found a better solution than Copilot for VS Code Web. Supermaven is a copilot alternative and seems to work well with the Orange Pi Zero server. They have a free tier that gives me everything I need.

The "Done." was generated by Supermaven after I typed in PRINT.

I created a empty file and typed in FOR and Supermaven suggested the rest of the code which I accepted on each line.

I corrected the PRINT line to add ,"\n" and all PRINT lines going forward added it to the end of PRINT lines. It's like I'm teaching Supermaven the differences between VB and ScriptBasic.

I'm getting hooked on this.  :)

I was able to find a source for the 5mm board spaces in quantity. After doing some tempreture testing without the heatsinks, I've dropped them from the build.

You can get the 🍊 Pi Zero 4GB, GeekPi USB dongle and a Scandisk 128GB Extreame Pro SD for just under $75 from Amazon. (tax + Prime free shipping included in the price)

I may be offering another configuration for the 🍊 Pi Zero. This is more desktop like rather than dongle based. Size wise they are the same. I'm hoping I can stuff the antenna in the top part of the case. If not, my new 5mm black spacers and longer screws would be needed. The case is made of aluminum and acts as a big heatsink. I'll know more tomorrow if this case works with the 🍊 Pi Zero out of the box.
